At first, turn away from non-virtue,
In the middle, dispel misconceptions of self,
Finally, go beyond all philosophical views,
One who understands this is wise indeed.
-Aryadeva, Four Hundred Verses, VIII

Some of the topics covered are: impermanence, no self, compassion, the three poison, and emptiness.
